When dozens of West Indies cricket legends gathered in South Florida on Jan. 23-25 for a banquet and exhibition match, it was a festive affair.
But beneath the joy of reuniting with former teammates, many admitted they are bothered by the state of the current West Indies team, which is No. 8 in the world rankings, ahead of only perennial also-rans Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
And with the quadrennial Cricket World Cup set to begin Feb. 13 in Australia and New Zealand, the once-juggernaut West Indies cricket team is facing upheaval on and off the field.
A look at some of the recent troubles:
▪ The team cut short its tour of India last October because of an internal contract dispute. The walkout infuriated the Indians, who threatened to sue after losing an estimated $65 million in television and ticket revenue, according to the Toronto Sun.
▪ Last month, chairman of selectors Clive Lloyd omitted star players Dwayne Bravo and Keiron Pollard from the final World Cup roster. Some suggested it was reprisal for the players' roles in the mutiny in India, but Lloyd insisted he had no ax to grind. With Bravo out, inexperienced Jason Holder was named team captain, another controversial move.
▪ Then one final jolt to the World Cup squad: Star spin bowler Sunil Narine suddenly withdrew, saying he needed to work on his bowling action.
As for their recent performances on the field, the West Indies – a two-time World Cup champion – has mostly made news for dubious reasons.
In a limited-overs match Jan. 18, South Africa's AB de Villiers reached a century (100 runs) off just 31 deliveries – a new record – against West Indies. When de Villiers was finally retired on 149 runs, he had amassed 16 sixes (a six is cricket's equivalent of a home run).
Former West Indies wicket keeper Deryck Murray, who played from 1963 to 1980 and was one of the legends in South Florida last month, was asked if he could envision a feat such as de Villiers' happening during West Indies' glory days.
"Yes," he replied, "if the batsman's name was Garry Sobers."
Sobers, who was also in South Florida for the legends event, is widely considered the best all-around player in cricket history. He declined to share his opinion of the current team so as not to be deemed as meddling, but another legend – Sir Wes Hall – did not hold back.
Hall, who played for West Indies from 1958 to 1969, was a menacing fast bowler. The former president of the West Indies Cricket Board says discipline – or lack thereof – is one of the main ailments of the current team.
"Talent alone doesn't win World Cups," Hall said. "You need talent [that is] augmented by discipline. Cricket is a mind game. Preparation is paramount."
Hall, remembered in cricket lore for bowling the final over in the famous "Tied Test" against Australia in 1961, laments the current team's regression.
"We must not allow ourselves to be treated like the new kids on the block, as if we're Sri Lanka and Bangladesh," he said. "We've been playing Test cricket since 1928."
Throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, West Indies dominated world cricket, demolishing rivals with entertaining, swashbuckling batsmen and an arsenal of fast bowlers such as Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, Malcolm Marshall and Curtly Ambrose. These days, it's not uncommon for the bowlers to get hit all over the park with little resistance.
"It's sad," said former West Indies opening batsman Gordon Greenidge. "It's like sending out boys to play against men."
Greenidge said technology has allowed teams to scout players' weaknesses, and that West Indies players must allow their games to evolve.
"They have to realize there are cameras all over the stadiums nowadays," he said. "Everyone can see exactly what they're doing. Another thing that bothers me is, when they lose, sometimes you see these guys smiling. Instead of smiling, they should be asking themselves, 'What the hell just happened?' "
In baseball, sluggers are often the superstars, but it's good pitching that usually decides a team's championship hopes. The same is true for cricket, as the West Indies' slide down the world rankings coincided with the retirement of its last two consistent fast bowlers – Ambrose, who retired in 2000, and Courtney Walsh, who played his final Test in 2001.
As for this year's World Cup, West Indies will rely on a number of bowlers who have had limited success such as Holder, Kemar Roach, Jerome Taylor and Nikita Miller.
Hard-hitting Chris Gayle will be heavily depended on for quick scoring, as will fellow Jamaican Marlon Samuels. Darren Bravo – Dwayne's brother – also will be pivotal.
The cricket experts are hardly impressed, though, and most have predicted that West Indies likely won't even make it to the quarterfinals.
"I think there's not a lot of stability in the team," analyst Rahul Dravid, a former cricket star for India, told Cricinfo.com. "If you look at the team there is a lot of talent, but I don't know whether they are organized enough."
Former West Indies player and coach Desmond Haynes said any criticism he has will be expressed directly to players, coaches or staff. However he expressed some impatience with the team's almost-two-decade malaise.
"If we're just going through a cycle, it's a very big one," he said.

ZAMBOANGA CITY, September 13, 2017 — Five members of the Maute group were killed in a clash early Tuesday in Marawi City, a top military official said.
Brigadier General Rolando Joselito Bautista, Joint Task Force Marawi commander, said the firefight happened at around 1:19 a.m. on September 12 in the main battle area of Marawi City.
The main battle area is the place where the Maute group members are holed up in the besieged city.
Bautista said the firefight broke out as government troops advanced into the main battle area.
He said the firefight lasted for about 30 minutes, resulting in the deaths of five Maute group members. There was no casualty on the government side.
He said the troops were only able to retrieve two remains of the slain Maute group members "because of dangerous circumstances."
He said the troops also recovered two high-powered firearms and a pair of night vision goggles.
"The troops' fighting spirit is further boosted because of the recent strong motivation and encouragement of the Commander-in-Chief. The President's recent presence in the main battle area has left a mark on our troops in their strong desire to end the crisis in Marawi," Bautista said.
President Rodrigo Duterte visited the troops on Monday afternoon to get a first hand update on the ongoing fighting in Marawi City. (Teofilo Garcia, Jr./PNA)

Aaaaand I'm back!
Been a while sorry folks, but I'm back now with a brand new ep of Manic Menza.
This ep I sit with the boys from State of the Meta and talk to them about their "humble" origins and what brought them into such competitive play styles for Warhammer 40,000.
There's a bit of background noise as an impromptu hobby session for the whole of Menza Gaming happened the night we recorded.
Hope you find this as insightful as I did…what'd you think of Jez' little project I gave him?
Don't forget to check out State of the Meta's own podcast when you get the chance guys, some real keen content coming from those fellas.
After some suggestions and all round feedback, it's become apparent that a solo cast isn't the easiest to listen to… what do you all think? would you guys rather I have someone on with me every episode? or is it ok to have a solo show every once in a while?

Among the bill's aims: improve tracking of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, improve antibiotic use in hospitals and other health-care settings (and limit misuse), and direct the National Institutes of Health to work with other agencies to form a strategic plan.
While it hasn't taken off in Congress, the proposal has support from a long list of medical and public-health groups, including the American Public Health Association and Infectious Diseases Society of America, March of Dimes and Trust for America's Health.

"Most of the problems that we really want to solve in the security field can't be solved by computers alone." *
This simple, straightforward message speaks volumes to the approach that most folks take when it comes to their security online: they expect their smart and not-so-smart devices to do security for them. It may be a strange way of saying it, but too many of us don't realize that security – in the physical world as well as online – is a participation game. Our personal participation is required, even if only at a basic level.
Our devices and the apps and software we use are just tools. We are each responsible for using these tools in an appropriate manner. And just as importantly, we are responsible for our own behavior: what we click on, our approach to passwords, etc.
The good news is that we don't have to be computer geeks to enjoy security online, because much of being safe on the internet is based on our not acting in a reckless or irresponsible manner. Just like in the physical world, not being clueless goes a long way to keeping us safe.
Here are 4 little things that you can do to be more secure online:
1 Keep everything up-to-date
When asked about their online safety practices, security experts indicate that installing software updates tops their own lists. Experts know that a key attack entry for hackers is holes in software before and even after they get patched. Bad guys attack even patched holes because they know that too many people don't keep their software up-to-date. That's huge! Keeping your software up-to-date is an easy way to stay a step ahead of hackers.
This is one behavior that is simple to adopt as your own and requires no special technical knowledge.
2 Be aware!
Awareness of threats is highly underrated. Awareness allows us to choose the right defense to protect ourselves. And, just like potholes, knowing what threats are out there allows us to avoid them. We may not always be successful in steering clear of them, but knowing they are out there gives us a chance. If you've never heard of phishing, how would you know to be suspicious of links in emails aggressively imploring you (or else we'll shut your account!) to confirm your login info and other personal info?
What about corporate hacks that have already happened? It's not like we can individually protect Ashley Madison or LinkedIn from being attacked, but knowing that a vendor we use was hacked will allow us to take action that can get us out of the 'danger zone'. What do you think the first thing Mark Zuckerberg's security team did when his Twitter and Pinterest accounts were hacked when his password was revealed in the LinkedIn hack? They changed his passwords for those accounts! (And then they reprimanded him and told him to stop being silly!)
Have you changed your LinkedIn account?
Awareness events like those sponsored by the National Cyber Security Alliance, and their StopThinkConnect campaign, are great ways to keep in the know about what's going on now. We're proud to participate in the #ChatSTC series of monthly Twitter chats.
3 Passwords, passwords, passwords
You have lots of them. Way too many of them to remember them all. When asked about their own practices, security experts indicated that they use a password manager to handle all of their unique, strong passwords. The fact of the matter is that passwords aren't meant to be remembered; one or a couple of strong passwords can be remembered, but you'd almost need to be a savant to remember all of your strong, unique passwords and match them up for each of your accounts.
A password manager is the right tool for long and strong passwords – and matching them up to all of your accounts. With most password managers, you'll have your own encrypted database that is protected with the one strong password you can remember: your master password.
If you aren't using a password manager, start today! We recommend Sticky Password to create and protect your passwords on all your devices.
And don't forget two-factor authentication! Activate 2FA on all accounts that offer it. It's that extra bit of security that works!
4 Privacy and security go hand-in-hand
In a world where the default setting for most folks seems to be full frontal exposure on social media, it's very hard to be private. It's even harder when your friends say you're paranoid for even thinking about security. Being the responsible person in a rubber room full of exhibitionists isn't easy!
Security requires privacy! Your private passwords protect your accounts. Keeping the details of your personal life helps keep you safe against identity theft.
It's really surprising when you consider people who excuse their own poor habits by thinking that no hackers or bad guys would be interested in them. It's what we like to call 'little ol' me' syndrome: "I'm so far below the radar of bad guys in terms of having something interesting to steal that I don't have to worry about being attacked." I have nothing to steal, so I have nothing to hide.
That couldn't be further from the truth. Any data about you has value to the bad guys. Your social security number (personal ID) can be misused for identity theft. Your driver's license or bank account number can be misused as proof that it's really you. Your login and password to your email account would allow a bad guy to change the passwords on just about all of your accounts. When looked at that way, we all have something to hide – and rightfully so.
How to protect your own privacy:
- don't use public WiFi's for your personal business. Public is public and you never know who is 'listening in' to the traffic that is going on. By simply logging into your email account while on a café's public WiFi, you could be revealing yourself to a hacker. Make sure you use a VPN or stay on your cell phone provider's data network.
- check and monitor the privacy settings on your social media sites. These tend to change from time to time, so make sure you check them to ensure that only those people you want to see something get to see it. Also, if you share devices with others, you might consider using anonymous browsing and clearing the cache of the browser after using it.
- in general, online is forever and, unlike the slogan for Las Vegas, what happens online has a way of spreading like wildfire. If you use that as a rule of thumb, you'll have less of a risk of oversharing than if you think that you are in control of that insensitive tweet or post. Once it's out there, you are no longer in control.
- turn off location services and GPS on your devices. Location services on cameras and smartphones reveal much more than the information on the picture. They can show precisely where you are – and that's not necessarily a good thing when you're away from your home, or someplace you shouldn't be (e.g. in a bad part of town, or if you're playing hooky from work).
Knowledge is power, and June is National Internet Safety Month. Spread the word to your family and friends about the role they each play in their own security.
*Researcher Pablo Breuer talking with CSO's Steve Ragan at CircleCityCon. The short discussion is focused on businesses making the right choices for their security products. There are no 100% secure solutions, everything comes down to choosing the right application for the business and the people who work with the application. The same applies to us at the consumer level. That great application you just installed can only be great if you use it the right way and don't go out of your way to subject it to dangerous circumstances by your behavior.

An Army sergeant and a female captain who have both been sent to the Gulf are facing disciplinary proceedings because they fell in love after he rescued her from a drunken attacker.
Although their affair is now over, Sgt Grant Allen faces being reduced to the ranks while the captain could be dismissed from the Army, which has a strict ban on sexual liaisons between officers and other ranks.
Sgt Allen, 30, who is serving with 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery in Kuwait, was based at the Army training centre at Pirbright, Surrey, when their relationship began. The captain, who is serving with the Royal Logistics Corps either in Kuwait or Qatar and has not been named, was his troop commander.
Their romance began two years ago after officers and sergeants from the training centre went to London on a social excursion designed to help them to get to know each other better. During the evening, the captain was subjected to a drunken attack by a stranger and Sgt Allen intervened. He was badly cut by a broken glass and received 32 stitches, leaving him scarred.
The grateful captain took her rescuer to hospital to have his wounds treated. He was separated from his wife and she was single and they soon began an affair.
Since she lived in the officers' mess and he in the sergeants' mess, and given the Army's strict rules on liaisons across the ranks, they booked into a hotel in nearby Camberley in order to sleep together.
But in August 2001 a senior officer at the Pirbright base noticed that the two appeared to be very close and allegedly began his own investigation.
According to Sgt Allen's estranged wife, the senior officer asked her if she knew whether her husband was having an affair with the female captain. He then persuaded her to open one of Sgt Allen's credit card bills which revealed the name of the hotel at which the lovers had stayed.
The senior officer denies Sgt Allen's estranged wife's account insisting that she approached him to complain that her husband was having an affair with his troop commander.
But Sgt Allen's solicitor John Mackenzie said yesterday that it was difficult to see how she could have known and, given that they were separated, not clear why she would have cared.
"Whatever the truth, the senior officer then confronted him accusing him of having sexual relations with an officer," Mr Mackenzie said. "She was also confronted. They both confessed and the Army began proceedings against them."
But the Army has dragged its feet. Army chiefs have been reluctant to force legal proceedings through. Instead they have opted for an alternative "administrative" process under which they can carry out the same disciplinary process without the publicity that a court martial might attract.
Mr Mackenzie said Sgt Grant had been "desperate" to get the issue sorted out before he went to the Gulf. "I told him to go to the Army and say 'you can't send me into action with this hanging over me'.
"His regiment did the best they could but the authorities refused to speed things up. I have just had a letter from the Gulf from Sgt Allen in which he says he feels it is "unfair, almost immoral" that the Army should send him into action with this hanging over his head."
The Army said that the Army Board would be deciding on the fate of Sgt Allen and his former girlfriend shortly.

Causes of Hair Loss in Dogs
Hair loss in dogs is a relatively common problem, especially when localized to a particular area of the face or body. The challenge can be narrowing down the root cause of the hair loss. Here is a rundown of the most common causes of hair loss in dogs.
Parasites and Fungus
One of the most common causes of hair loss in dogs is the infestation of parasites or fungal infection. The most common parasite to cause hair loss is the demodex mite, which can cause demodectic mange in some dogs. The hair loss will start on the face and can spread to other parts of the body. Dogs that develop mange from these mites often have an underlying problem, such as suppressed immune systems, thyroid or adrenal gland problems, or diabetes.
Ringworm is a common fungal infection of the hair and hair follicles. It is one of the causes of hair loss in dogs. It usually starts on the face but can occur on any part of the body. The hair will be lost in a circular shape and the skin will also be affected. Dogs with healthy immune systems can usually fight off ringworm, but puppies and adults with weak immune systems are more likely to become infected. Ringworm is contagious, so be sure to isolate the affected dog from other pets.
Some causes of hair loss in dogs are inherited, and can be more common in certain breeds. Pattern baldness (also called acquired pattern alopecia) usually affects the ears, but can also occur elsewhere on the body. It is similar to male pattern baldness in humans. Pattern baldness is seen in the Dachshund and a few other breeds such as the Boston Terrier, Whippet, Italian Greyhound, and Chihuahua.
Color dilution alopecia affects a larger number of breeds, but is relatively rare. Certain breeds with blue (and sometimes fawn) coloring are at risk. Puppies born with the condition will develop areas of brittle, dry hair that eventually falls out. The bare skin may be more prone to dryness and infection in these individuals.
A dog with hormone levels that are out of balance will often have hair loss combined with other symptoms. An underactive thyroid gland can cause skin changes and hair thinning and loss. The hair will fall out easily when touched. An overactive adrenal gland produces too much cortisone. Hair will be lost on the body, and sometimes the face. The skin color and texture can also be affected. Increased thirst and a pot belly are warning signs of an overactive adrenal gland.
Both male and female dogs can develop tumors in the sexual organs that lead to the overproduction of estrogen. This condition can cause hair loss in both sexes. Male dogs with this condition may also develop other female sex characteristics, such as mammary glands.
These are some of the causes of hair loss in dogs. If you notice any of these signs on your dog, make sure to see your vet for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have been wearing more denim and I actually am starting to love it, there is so much you can do with them. It is way beyond casual and just a tee with converse. I decided to dress my denim look up by pairing a fun blouse with it. I chose to accessorize with a headpiece and rings. This look of mine is very bohemian inspired which is my absolute favorite. You can easily infuse your own style into any look if you are out of your comfort one.

Osaka: Japan on Tuesday said nationalising the beleaguered operator of the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was "an option" but denied it had immediate plans to do so.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. has come under fire for its handling of the crisis, the world`s biggest atomic accident since Chernobyl in 1986, and looks likely to face a hefty compensation bill amid slow progress in stabilising the plant.
"It is naturally possible to hold various discussions on how TEPCO should function" in future, said Koichiro Gemba, minister of national policy, adding that nationalisation was "an option", Kyodo News reported.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told a separate press conference that the government is "not at the moment considering nationalisation".
However, citing government sources, the Yomiuri Shimbun said Tuesday the government was examining taking a majority stake in TEPCO as well as bearing responsibility for paying liabilities stemming from the nuclear plant crisis.
By taking control of the utility, the government would also be able to help ensure that TEPCO has sufficient capital to maintain stable supplies of electricity, the Yomiuri said.
"Since the state has been promoting nuclear energy as its policy, it is necessary for the state to ultimately take responsibility," Gemba said, indicating the government will step in to cover expenses that cannot be handled by the utility, according to Kyodo.
A 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami on March 11 knocked out the cooling systems of the Fukushima plant`s six reactors -- triggering explosions and fires, releasing radiation and sparking global fears of a widening disaster.
Radiation from the plant northeast of Tokyo has wafted into the air, contaminating farm produce and drinking water, and seeped into the Pacific Ocean, although officials stress there is no imminent health threat.
TEPCO shares plunged 18.67 percent on Tuesday as concerns over its ability to manage the crisis continued to unnerve investors.
The shares closed limit down at 566 yen, a 47-year low, and have now lost nearly three quarters of their pre-crisis value.
One of the world`s biggest power companies, TEPCO boasts 44.6 million customers -- more than one third of the population of Japan -- in the Kanto region of the main island of Honshu, including Tokyo.

It is possible that some people's tolerances with caffeine may have fluctuated back and forth over time after quitting. But whether it has happened to one or two other people or not really is not important. All that is important is where your body has adjusted to.
When it comes to caffeine, blood sugar issues, sleep adjustments, and other such issues, it is crucial that everyone learns to recognize his or her owns body needs and requirements after adjusting back to your non-smoking physiology. Again normal is what is normal for your body, not what is normal for the majority of other people who have quit or to other people who might be exceptions to certain rules.
Your body is getting normalized and will stay normalized for you over time as long as you never put it through the abnormal process of nicotine induced pharmacological effects or the nicotine induced withdrawal syndrome by simply knowing now to never take another puff!
Related readings covering adjustments to your new body after quitting:
Sleep Adjustments (1,2,3,10,11,12)
Medication adjustments (1,2,3,4,5,6)
Blood Sugar Changes When Quitting (1,2,3,23,24,25)
[url=file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Joel%20Spitzer/My%20Documents/mywebsites/nicotineindex/everyonedifferent.htm]"Everyone is different???" [/url]
Every Quit is Different. (1,2,3,10,11,12)
Anyone who feels jittery after a few days of a quit should examine his or her caffeine consumption levels. Many find that they cannot tolerate caffeine consumption at prequit levels. If you are experiencing a jittery feeling you may want to experiment with reducing quantity or strength of caffeinated drinks or products. If you are not having these difficulties it probably is not important to alter anything now.
There is an interaction between nicotine and caffeine, just as there is an interaction with nicotine and alcohol. We discuss it here often how when people drink alcohol it causes them to lose nicotine at an accelerated pace thus resulting in heavier smoking while drinking. As I said, there is a similar situation with nicotine and caffeine--similar with one huge difference. Alcohol makes you lose nicotine, thus is responsible for smoking more when drinking.
Nicotine on the other hand interferes with the body's ability to absorb and utilize caffeine, often resulting in a person who is used to or needs to be maintaining a certain caffeine level requiring more of the products to maintain their minimum needed level. When they quit smoking and consume the same amount, that old quantity will now basically overdose them. In the case where they even increase quantity, they can experience a real overdose effect with the corresponding anxiety and sleep altering effects.
So be careful with caffeine if symptoms are going longer than a few days. It is not saying you need to get rid of it all together, just keep it in doses that don't cause unwanted effects. Your general state will likely be calmer and a feeling of overall well being that you should be able to maintain for the rest of your life as long as you always remember to keep yourself from over stimulating substances and always remember to never take another puff!

No Adjustment May be Necessary
It isn't necessary to surrender our coffee or anything else when quitting - nor pick up any new crutches either - but due to the 4,000 plus chemicals present in each burning cigarette (and in caffeine's case nicotine), a few intake adjustments may be necessary for some of us and caffeine intake could possibly be one of them.
As indicated in the Swanson study (see study summary below), nicotine accelerates the rate at which caffeine is metabolized by the body. It does so to the extent that if a smoker quits using nicotine and continues to consume the exact same amount of caffeine that they did while using nicotine, that their blood serum caffeine level will double (203%).
The capacity of each of us to handle differing levels of caffeine varies greatly. If you normally drink one or two cups of coffee in succession but know from experience that you can handle three or four without experiencing unwelcomed symptoms - like the jjitters, anxiety, shaking, insomnia, or gastric and digestive disturbances - then no intake adjustment may be necessary.
On the other hand, if during those times when you did double your normal caffeine intake you did notice unwelcomed symptoms then you need to act accordingly so as not to add those symptoms to any associated with nicotine withdrawal.
Look on the bright side - it's cheaper being an ex-smoker because we only require half as much caffeine in order to get the same punch. The next few minutes are doable!

text: Hi Guys, Was just wondering if moonshell was intended as a shell replacement for the EZV. I know the EZV shell is based on moonshell, but the version I have is 1.41. I downloaded the latest moonshell & configured it & copied it over (moonshl folder + nds file) & ran the nds file - It seemed to work well. So can I just delete my existing "shell" folder & rename the "moonshl" folder to "shell" & everything will work OK, or do I need to run the nds file (from within my current shell) as I have been doing ? I know this probably seems like a trivial question..... I just want to get the most out of my cart. TIA

Sits Beautifully On The Neck. . . . .
I was not planning to purchase this necklace but tried it on in a Ten Thousand Villages store and was sold. It sits beautifully on the neck and is the perfect necklace when you want a bit of color.

Recently, Sony made a simple tweak to its banners that upped online purchases by 20%.
When the Guardian used the same technique to optimize its landing pages, the newspaper saw a 46% boost in subscriptions.
And nope, neither change involved adding pictures of Scarlett Johansson.
The key was A/B testing, a web optimization strategy where you test multiple versions of your creative to identify which one produces the best results.
Get ahead of the pack (and 83% of Fortune 500 companies) by incorporating A/B testing into your site.
Here's what to test:
- Varied banners that drive customers to a landing page, form, or another call to action where you can track traffic.
- Gated content (content hidden behind a form) vs. non-gated content (no form). Are users willing to sign up or provide more info to access materials on your site?
- Image types. Are photos of people more successful than product shots?
- Headlines and copy. Test the length of headlines and copy on your paid campaigns to see which ones get the most clicks.

National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity
The purpose of the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity is to ensure local authorities enable, through their land-use planning and infrastructure, sufficient development capacity for housing and business. This ensures urban areas can grow and change in response to the needs of their communities.
The National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity (NPS-UDC) came into effect on 1 December 2016. It is administered by the Ministry for the Environment (MfE) with support from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
Visit the MfE website for background research, consultation, Cabinet paper and supporting documents.
Implementation of the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity
Since December 2016, local authorities in urban areas have been working towards meeting the requirements of the NPS-UDC. From 1 June 2017 local authorities in medium and high-growth urban areas were required to begin monitoring market indicators every quarter.
Guidance on evidence and monitoring policies
Together with the Ministry for the Environment (MfE), MBIE has developed the following guidance to support councils of high and medium growth urban areas to prepare housing and business development capacity assessments, monitor market indicators and use price efficiency indicators.
Guidance on future development strategies and minimum development capacity targets
Future development strategies (policies PC12 – PC14) set out how sufficient development capacity will be provided across an urban area in the medium and long terms.

Step 4
Meanwhile, heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6
Sprinkle the tomatoes and eggs with the oregano and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the steak.

Mentorship is so important in business, as one can always gain a wealth of knowledge from those that have been there and done that. From networking, to advice, to encouragement, these relationships can be mutually beneficial and educational for mentee and mentor alike.
Like any other business decision, these relationships must be kept in professional perspective and well thought out on the front end to help in avoiding disappointments from unrealistic expectations that we may have set.
Mentor Brain-Trust: Strength in Numbers
Being really successful in an area alone does not qualify someone to be YOUR mentor. To have a successful mentoring relationship, one must decide what it is about that person's success that touches a cord with you?
Is it their business acumen that you admire? How they are able to quickly dive in and understand any given professional situation and help bring about a positive outcome.
Is it their ability to create and foster relationships? Do you admire the fact that they know no strangers and everyone seems to connect with them, love them and respect them.
Does their passion inspire you to be better and to do better? So much so that you want to study what they study, experience what they experience and go where they go.
Like every member of a team has their own unique strength, can we not have multiple mentors that fill our different professional needs based on their individual strengths?
Is it even possible to get everything you need from one person, or is it better to draw from the positive attributes of several that we consider influential or successful and learn for them all, creating a "Frankenmentor":
- One piece from the scholar
- One from the business person
- One from the teacher
- One from the networker
- One from the entrepreneur, etc.
…until we are mentee-illy complete. Not only learning different skills from each individual, but also learning how to manage multiple relationships in the process.
Pitfalls of Having Only One Mentor
Because we sometimes hold our experts and our mentors to such a high standard, we feel as if in order to be a mentor that they must be all of these things to us before we commit to learning from them. For this reason, many of us don't have any one person that we consider to be a mentor.
When we believe in someone, it is easy to forget that the person we're looking up to is a human being just like us. When our professional faith is wrapped up in only one person, we subject ourselves to disappointment when (not if) this person missteps, misspeaks or makes a decision that we may not necessarily agree with. Not because they are no longer any expert in their given field but because we put our trust in a gap that we weren't originally looking for them to fill. And if one relationship fails, we are not left mentor-less.
"Being on a pedestal doesn't exempt one from gravity." – Justin Harris 2013
So to maximize our mentee experience, it's my opinion that we diversify, just like with any other investment and have several mentors. By spreading the educational risk around, we learn and observe each mentor in moderation, getting the best from each and forming a quality whole, ultimately learning several styles, techniques and philosophies to help us become even more successful in our given area.
Knowing exactly what we need from each mentor forces us to be specific in what we ourselves are willing to give to each mentor, so that realistic expectations can be had by everyone involved and the collaborative learning is directed, intentional and ultimately meaningful.

September 21, 2009 (CHICAGO) --The Chicago Transit Authority will get a $1.5 million grant to fund green projects. The grant is part of a $100 million federal program to reduce global warming and create green jobs.
The CTA will use its share of the money to build electrified stalls that will deliver electrical power to about 80 buses.
The stalls will also provide heating and air-conditioning to the vehicles during overnight cleaning.
Without the electrified stalls, the buses would be left to idle during that time.

Guest of Honor
Seanan McGuireSeanan is the author of the urban fantasies, the InCryptid urban fantasies, and several other works both stand-alone and in trilogies or duologies. In case that wasn't enough, she also writes under the pseudonym "Mira Grant." For details on her work as Mira, check out MiraGrant.com. 28 novels and 132 short stories published...the woman is a writing powerhouse. In her spare time, Seanan records CDs of her original filk music and performs with the ever-evolving back-up band, Dead Sexy. She is also a cartoonist, and draws an irregularly posted autobiographical web comic, With Friends Like These..., as well as generating a truly ridiculous number of art cards. Surprisingly enough, she finds time to take multi-hour walks, blog regularly, watch a sickening amount of television, maintain her website, and go to pretty much any movie with the words "blood," "night," "terror," or "attack" in the title. Most people believe she doesn't sleep. Seanan lives in an idiosyncratically designed labyrinth in the Pacific Northwest, which she shares with her cats, Alice and Thomas, a vast collection of creepy dolls and horror movies, and sufficient books to qualify her as a fire hazard. She has strongly-held and oft-expressed beliefs about the origins of the Black Death, the X-Men, and the need for chainsaws in daily life. Seanan was the winner of the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, and her novel /Feed/ (as Mira Grant) was named as one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2010. In 2013 she became the first person ever to appear five times on the same Hugo Ballot. She is a cast member of the two-time Hugo winning SF Squeecast. And...in 2017 Seanan won the Hugo for her novella Every Heart a Doorway! Find out more about Seanan here.

Golden Guest of Honor
Gene Wolfe
(Photo Credit: Beth Gwinn)
Ursula K. Leguin gave our Golden Guest of Honor, Gene Wolfe, the coolest jacket liner quote: "Wolfe is our Melville". He's inspired so many readers and writers, and even corresponded with J.R.R. Tolkien. The bibliography of his work goes on and on and on (you can read it here). He's won Nebula, Locus, Rhysling, BSFA, World Fantasy, August Derleth, and Campbell Awards, and his work has been nominated for eight Hugo Awards. He was the Guest of Honor at the 1985 Worldcon, won the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement in 1996, inducted by the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2007, and named SFWA Grand Master in 2012. He received the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master award at the 2013 Nebula Awards. And he'll be ChamBanaCon's Golden Guest of Honor for as long as the man wants to come to the con. We love his stories and his wicked sense of humor. Juanita Coulson shares this story about Gene that truly illustrates Gene's personality:

Erudite, whimsical, and unpredictable, in a charming and entertaining way. That's ChamBanaCon's Golden GoH, Gene Wolfe. For those of us lucky enough to correspond with him, read his novels and short fiction, and enjoy personal contact, Gene's been a delightful surprise package par excellence. Y'never know where his extremely fertile imagination is going to take you next.
Maybe into a lesson on how to write fascinating tales. Maybe voicing a strong opinion on which of many movies portraying the Gunfight at the OK Corral is worth watching. Maybe to an eerie and mind-boggling road leading into a nearly forgotten corner of ancient history - which then becomes a springboard for a whole new way of looking at science fiction and fantasy.
Erudition? I've added more words to my vocabulary by reading and listening to Gene than I ever did as a result of any language class. Dip into his books with an O.E.D. or some other really good dictionary to hand. The exercise is good for your brain; it'll enlarge your neurons.
Whimsical? He took us on a grand tour of beautiful downtown Barrington, IL, his home base, and showed us The Castle. Although NOT the Castle of the Otter. Ask him about that castle in Barrington, and about his book The Citadel of the Autarch, which somehow became transformed into a haven for furry clam eaters.
Unpredictable? Let me tell you a true story, children. Years ago, comes a phone call from Gene. After the opening pleasantries he inquired of his fellow gun crank if Buck owned a Luger. Always wanted to shoot one of those, he told us. Could he visit and shoot some holes in a target with that famous weapon? Why, sure, pardoner! Time and date were set, and in due course into our rural driveway rolled the Gunslinger from Barrington, ready and eager to test-fire the Luger. And providing his own target: a blue-light special K-Mart windbreaker. Puzzled but game, we tacked that garment to our backstop. The Luger fired just fine, but Gene wasn't happy with the size of the holes it made in the hapless coat. Did we have a bigger caliber available? You bet. The .357 made nice BIG holes, after which that windbreaker was most sincerely dead. Alas, eventually time came for the Barrington Marshal to saddle up and head home. I offered to detach the perforated corpse from the backstop, but he didn't want the thing. No need. He'd already taken a photo.
Whaaaa...? His explanation for a 400-mile round trip to massacre a cheap windbreaker? His editor wanted a jacket shot. Be careful what you ask for, when the request goes to Gene Wolfe.
So...get ready to be surprised, amused, and occasionally quite startled. This is NOT your ordinary kind of GoH. Have fun.

Fan GoH
Dr. Wesley Crowell
You've seen him at cons all around the world. He's either toting a huge electric keyboard for his recording wizard wife, Dr. Mary Crowell, or he's wrangling the green room making sure that megabands like Play It With Moxie and Dead Sexy can practice with a care for food, drink or...nearly anything. Or he's sitting at the back of the ballroom listening to the panels and concerts while creatively plotting the probably demise of gaming characters in one of his many vast and complex D&D worlds. A whole crowd of folks regularly attend filk conventions just to game with Wesley. In real life, Wesley Crowell is a respected pediatrician with the coolest practice on the planet. It's no wonder kids love going to see this doctor. Every treatment room is color-coded to a specific cartoon character from Warner Brothers yellow Tweety room to Marvel's red and blue Spidey room. Get ready for some amazing gaming from the good doctor!

Amy McNallyAmy McNally (also known as Amy McFiddler) is that barefooted, blue-haired chick in a blue skirt and blue corset who sits on the floor with a blue violin and a stash of Pixy Stix. Probably also blue. She's been hanging around jam circles like that for years, and has been playing fiddle for over 25 years now. She plays with several bands including The Tooles The Tooles, The Mad City Jug Band, Wild Mercy, and Play It With Moxie, and sings with the choral group Lady Mondegreen, performing guerrilla accompaniment whenever someone is sweet to her. Amy also appears on recordings with this year's GoH Seanan McGuire.

These shoes were shaped over a Barrie last and run one half size larger than regular US sizes. Founded in Massachusetts by Charles H. Alden in 1884, the Alden Shoe Company is now in its fourth generation and is the oldest original shoe- and boot-maker remaining in New England. In collaboration with our design team, Alden handcrafted these elegant bluchers, also known as wing tips or brogues, in a special European pebbled calfskin chosen just for us, then hand stained and polished each shoe to a rich lustre. These limited editions (available only for a limited time) feature all of Alden's hallmark details, including its famed Goodyear welt, full-leather lining and tempered steel shank. Quite simply, this is true craftsmanship and custom-shoemaking at its finest. To be sure they last generations, you can always send them back to Alden for resoling. When cleaning, apply a black paste or wax polish. Leather upper and lining. Double oak-tanned leather outsole. Goodyear welt construction. Item 42085. Color: black
